Jamie McCourt To Ask MLB To Force Frank To Sell Dodgers

Per a tweet by Bill Shaikin, with a story to come presently at the LAT.

Update: And here it is. Looks like such a move could give MLB a nice out: they won't have to find an excuse to force a sale if one of the owners asks for it.

Related: Via Abort McCourt, a Forbes story from Mike Oznanian indicating that the Dodgers are days away from defaulting on player salaries. We knew that, of course, but what I didn't know is that there's a 48 hour window from missing payroll to the time that MLBPA can start the 10-day free agency clock.
